Other considerations regarding the world’s present pandemic

While there are all kinds of doctors, scientists, and would-be proclaimers of what’s going on behind or with the COVID-19 pandemic, there are others who are not that well known or made as available to the world at large (or even just to this country) who also have something to say — and what these doctors have to say will leave all the others scratching their heads or pooh-pooh-ing their messages for all the usual reasons: they do not resonate with others who have a different message; it might make those who responded to this pandemic in a major and even drastic way look foolish; it won’t make anyone any money; and besides, how do we know how much validity we should place on these alternate comments?
The first doctor who goes against the mainstream regarding the whys and wherefores of this novel coronavirus is Dr. Thomas Cowan. His credentials state that he has served as vice president of the Physicians Association for Anthroposophical Medicine and is a founding board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation. During his career, he has studied and written about many subjects in medicine. These include nutrition, anthroposophical medicine and herbal medicine. He is the author of three books published by Chelsea Green: Cancer and the New Biology of Water; Vaccines, Autoimmunity and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness, and Human Heart, Cosmic Heart. He graduated from Michigan State University College of Human Medicine in 1984. After his residency in Family Practice at Johnson City Hospital in Johnson City, New York, he set up an anthroposophical medical practice in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
In a video, Dr. Cowan discusses his theory behind what a virus is in general, and how this correlates to what we are seeing today with increased electrification of the planet. Dr. Cowan’s theories around viruses line up with emerging research in the space of viral and exosome science. You can see this video and the others mentioned in this column on the Collective Evolution website. Dr. Wolfgang Wodargm, the second doctor, a well known pulmonologist, shares his thoughts on the new coronavirus. In his video, he questions the current lockdown measures being taken by governments worldwide. He also questions the statistics used to ascertain how we determine the actual victims of this pandemic.
His is also an opinion. Why are expert opinions like this being ridiculed, and sometimes even flagged as ‘false information’ when they are simply the opinions of medical experts? Why are people who ask questions constantly judged and demonized?
Even media outlets like Collective Evolution (from which all this information was taken), who share the opinions of these experts, are flagged, demonetized and hit with a limited reach.
According to Dr. Ron Paul. people should ask themselves whether the actual danger of the disease is massively exaggerated by those who seek to profit — financially or politically — from the ensuing panic. He was flagged by fact-checkers for simply sharing his opinion.
This is not to say the disease is harmless. Without question some people will die from the current novel coronavirus. Those in vulnerable categories should take precautions to limit their risk of exposure.
As far as the current coronavirus scare the world seems to be in, Collective Evolution has been writing about it for quite some time, and sharing why what they are seeing around the world is indeed questionable, and in many cases, doesn’t make much sense on multiple levels. But that is their opinion, and that being said, it can easily be argued that the opposite side of that opinion may also make sense. Differing opinions create discussion.
Facts are facts, and data is data, and at the end of the day the facts and data about the new coronavirus, other existing coronaviruses, and other diseases/viruses that spread rapidly and infect millions of people around the globe may not justify what’s happening right now with regards to all of the ‘lockdown measures.’ Those are some opinions, and sometimes opinions lead to truth while sometimes not.
The other doctor who made a video on this subject, Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, a specialist in microbiology and one of the most cited research scientists in German history, shared his thoughts on the measures that are being taken to combat the new coronavirus. He called them “Draconian. In his video he addresses many points being made, including hospitals being overwhelmed, and more.
Bhakdi created a Youtube channel on March 18th, and has since posted four videos that have received more than one million views, total, in a very short span of time. He recently uploaded what appears to be his last video, and reads an open letter from him to the German Chancellor. His sentiments echo those of three Stanford professors of medicine who recently shared their expert opinion that extraordinary claims require extraordinary data. You can read more about that specifically on the Creative Evolution website, and on The Creative Evolution Show, hosted by CE’s founder, Joe Martino.
Says Dr. Bhakdi: Implementation of the current draconian measures that so extremely restrict fundamental rights can only be justified if there is reason to fear that a truly, exceptionally dangerous virus is threatening us. Do any scientifically sound data exist to support this contention for COVID-19? I assert that the answer is simply, no.
Experts in the field of medicine are starting to come out making some very interesting points. Why is their opinion blocked and censored all the time?
It’s a very interesting time in human history. The birth of alternative media outlets has allowed information to spread across the globe, rapidly. Today, extreme measures have been taken and are being taken to label information as ‘false news.’ Granted, a lot of information out there is indeed false news, but media outlets are getting flagged, demonetized and censored for sharing information that is perfectly valid.
Intravenous vitamin C treatment for covid-19 patients is one of the latest examples, multiple media outlets claimed that it is very unlikely that it can do anything to help, and ‘fact checkers’ even flagged some articles providing evidence suggesting that it may.
Meanwhile, as far as Vitamin C treatment for Covid-19 goes, regardless of what some media outlets are claiming, Medicine in Drug Discovery, of Elsevier, a major scientific publishing house, recently published an article on early and high-dose IVC in the treatment and prevention of Covid-19. Vitamin C was successfully used to treat 50 moderate to severe covid-19 patients, and some New York hospitals have even started to use the treatment.
The author of that publication (mentioned above), Dr. Richard Cheng, has been updating everyone via his YouTube channel about vitamin C treatment cases out of China prior to the publication of his article.
Cheng also had a message for the ‘fact-checkers’ as posted in the description of his latest Youtube video. “I was made aware that FB Fact Check claims ‘Shanghai did not officially recommend high-dose IVC for the treatment of Covid-19.’ Let me make it clear that not only Shanghai, but also Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, another major city in China, publicly endorsed high-dose IVC for the treatment of Covid-19. Those who Fact Check, please be more careful.”
Thank you, Joe Martino and your Creative Evolution, for bringing the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say, to the people. Sometimes people need to be reminded just what an opinion is, while also learning to recognize facts.

City Council votes an abeyance of ordinance to jail developers
By Alexandra Cohen
De Oro Media Group
Las Vegas Tribune Exclusive
Tuesday the Las Vegas City Council Recommending Committee voted for an
abeyance on the controversial ordinance — Bill No. 2018-24 — sponsored
by City Councilman Steve Seroka, a councilman who is being sued in
Federal Court by developer Yohan Lowie for bias. This abeyance now
moves the bill to the September 4, 2018 Recommending Committee, then
to be heard by the full City Council on September 6.
The proposed bill will severally penalize developers with excessive
fines and jail time for not abiding by new standards. The bill is
opposed by the Commercial Real Estate Development Association (NAIOP),
The Latin Chamber of Commerce and Laborers Local 872, along with
others in the building and trades community. The bill NO.2018-24, also
known as the «Yohan Lowie bill,” is an ordinance to amend LVMC Title
19 (The Unified Development Code) to adopt additional standards and
requirements regarding the repurposing of certain golf courses and
open spaces.
The ordinance was met with strong position from those speaking at
today’s meeting. Tommy White, Secretary Treasurer of the Laborers
Local 872 said “this City Council is sending the wrong message to not
only the local building community, but to the entire nation. This is
simply government overreach.” Mr. White vowed to bring 600 of his
union members to the next meeting to protest the flawed ordinance.
Peter Guzman, President of the Latin Chamber of Commerce, stated, “I
have received numerous calls from my members opposed to this
ordinance. This ordinance is contrary to our group’s philology and
focus of promoting commerce and growth in our community.” Todd Davis,
General Council, EHB Companies pointed out to the Recommending
Committee that “the Agenda states ‘NO FISCAL IMPACT,’ when clearly
there is a fiscal impact to taxpayers ranging from substantial legal
fees to defend the ordinance, to hundreds of millions of dollars if
the ordinance is found to be a taking.”
Councilwoman Michele Fiore publically and vehemently objected to the
ordinance in the July 18 council meeting and at times verbally sparred
with the bill sponsor, Councilman Seroka, citing that the ordinance
started as a 5-page ordinance and FAILED in the Las Vegas Planning
Commission by a 5 to 1 vote. Now, behind the scenes, it has been
expanded to a 13-page document and is being considered for approval.
Developer Yohan Lowie, stated, “this is typical of the corruption and
disingenuous acts of certain members of the city of Las Vegas who have
demonstrated for the past three years, and one of the reasons why I am
in litigation with Councilman Seroka and Bob Coffin for the animus
they continue to display. They are enacting a law to create criminal
penalties for the property no longer being a golf course and no longer
being green. All property owners should be concerned.” This bill may
be as far-reaching as to affect individual homeowners living in a golf
course community.
SECTION 7 in the bill states: Whenever in this ordinance any act is
prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful... the doing of such
prohibited act or the failure to do any such required act shall
constitute a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, shall be
punished by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or by imprisonment for a
term of not more than six months.
Mr. Lowie has hired famed criminal defense lawyer David Chesnoff to
represent his interests in possible forthcoming criminal offenses that
may arise from this bill. Additionally, along with attorney and Lt.
Governor Mark Hutchison the City has been put on notice through a
letter, which states the City will be in violation of the EX Post
Facto Clause and Equal Protection Clause and a Taking by Eminent
Domain.
After the July 18 city council meeting, developer Yohan Lowie stated,
“If they want to put me in jail, they can. I will fight to my last
breath to prevent the City from EVER taking my property away. I will
continue to fight this matter all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to
get justice.”
